Yike’s!! we “love” you’re websitez!

National Punctuation Day takes place this Friday, so we’re devoting an entire week to blogging about punctuation, grammar, style, spelling, and other intricacies of the English language. Obviously, working in publishing makes us pretty preoccupied with this stuff—we proofread, agonize, have recurring nightmares about flipping through freshly printed F&Gs and seeing dozens of grotesque typos—but if the internet is any indication, we’re definitely not the only ones obsessed with proper usage. Here’s a round-up of some of the most hilariously vigilant websites dedicated to correcting (or at least pointing out) the world’s many, many errors:

Site:The Great Typo HuntMission: Jeff Deck and Benjamin Herson correct misspellings and mistakes in punctuation and grammar on public signs and displays all over the country and have written a book called The Great Typo Hunt about their efforts.Hilarious/unfortunate example: During their recent book tour, the authors came across a sign for Cappachino. (And haven’t we all?)
